MaximisingExitExitValue
At Forge, we understand that achieving a successful exit or acquisition involves more than just reaching the destination—it’s about the strategic journey that begins long before the decision to sell is made.
We’ve supported many CEOs to help navigate this complex journey, sharing in all the strains and struggles, we take responsibility to enhance a company’s value and ensure it’s exit-ready when the opportunity arises.
How we help make it happen:
Adding 000s to your business valuation
We’re well aware that when it comes to company valuation, tangible factors play a significant role. Yet, it’s the intangible elements that truly elevate the multiples. We implement our sales-led marketing approach to achieve a much-enhanced exit value for our clients.
Market Leadership, Positioning and Brand Strength
Forge positions companies as authorities in their sectors, significantly enhancing brand strength and value. We work with companies to identify, enhance and articulate their sales value proposition, establishing them as a market leader, rather than just a provider. We make companies look, sound and feel valuable – positioning them as the ideal solution to their customers’ problems. The way a company looks, what it says and how it makes someone feel can significantly improve its ability to sell.
Growing sales pipelines, reliably and sustainably
Forge uses its tried and tested sales-led marketing process to grow sales pipelines that sustain over the long term. We have a proven record of creating warm sales leads that convert into significant revenue. Our precise and targeted approach has shown to attract customers with a greater lifetime value, which adds to the predictability of your cash flow. All of these elements help to build resilience into a business, which any acquirer or investor would need to be able to satisfy.
Profitable growth, via new business revenue
We make sure to keep your direct sales and marketing costs low and new business sales revenues high. Our sales-led marketing strategies are designed to maintain and enhance a company’s net profit. Forge enables companies to uncover new markets and opportunities for globalisation. A company that is able to demonstrate the ability to diversify its revenue streams shows excellent robustness and is extremely attractive to potential acquirers.
Using tech to help sales teams close more deals
We implement the best sales and marketing technology to automate key aspects of the sales and marketing process. This reduces overheads and helps sales teams actually enjoy the process of new business development – it helps them perform better too. We ensure your marketing generates a tangible return – every pound spent can be traced back to revenue and profit. We can also help to reduce the time it takes your sales team to close a deal. The ability to showcase a company’s forward-thinking approach to technological advancements speaks volumes to potential buyers about a company’s future potential.

Our priority is not just about getting your business exit-ready; it’s about unlocking its full potential for when the right opportunity presents itself. Let’s discuss how we can elevate your exit strategy. Get in touch to see our approach in action.
